Expect rabid McPlain supporters to hype that charge against him too

Quote:

The Uptake: "McCain Responds to "Arab" Epithet at Rally: "Obama a Decent Family Man"

Noah: Yeah, I know which one you're talking about. And just to be sure to make sure we got your quote OK, you called Obama and Arab terrorist?

Quinnell: Pardon?

Noah: You called him an Arab terrorist? Is that correct? Why do you think he is an Arab?

Quinnell: Because his dad is. If you... I'll send you the paper.

Female reporter: His dad is Muslim. His dad was Muslim. Barack Obama has never been a Muslim.

Quinnell: No but he's....

Dana Bash of CNN: He's a Christian.

Quinnell: He's not an Arab either, he's a --

Bash: His father was Muslim, and he's a Christian.

Quinnell: Yeah, but he's still got Muslim in him. So that's still part of him. I got all the stuff from the library and I could send you all kinds of stuff on him. In fact....

And these are the people who are going to be voting for McCain? People who, despite being told over and over by the man himself that he is not a Muslim, not only want to believe that he's a Muslim, but that he's an Arab? And by the way, what's wrong with being an Arab, or an Arab-American? And how could these same people think that anyone who is not a native-born American could be allowed to run for the POTUS? If these people read nothing else, can they not read the Constitution?:

Quote:

No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. (Article II, Section 1)

For the love of God, McCain, shut these haters down once and for all! Have you no sense of decency left at all?

Muslim, Christian, Morman, whatever - he's still hit the obligatory "Why my faith is important..." talking points, which annoys me (with all politicians) across the board. I'm looking forward to the day when I'm old and gray and hear "My faith really isn't important to the way I plan to run the country, and I believe that strong and healty morals can come from outside the dogma of organized religion." That'll be the day...

Exactly. If he gets the job done, I don't even care if the POTUS is a godless heathen...although going by what's been happening to us for the past eight years, maybe we already have had one in that office

where are your cell?

The other day this past summer, a Muslim woman walk into the bank and she is covered up baring her eyes only, and I had my sunglasses on and the teller told me that I had to take them off. I thought it was interesting that this Muslim woman could be anybody and be carrying a weapon underneath, and myself wearing shorts and tank top is under scrutiny because of the eyes.

I don't know how most were feeling when they saw that. I myself lived in Detroit for a some good years immune to the reaction. I just talk to my room mates that just told me of her encounter with a Muslim coming into her cash register of where she work. She was kind of freaking out and reminded herself that she watches too much TV.

McCain can't tell her supporter that there is nothing wrong with being an American Muslim. If you remember VitminC who use to frequent here has a Muslim Mother. So he is technically in the same boat as Obama, raise in a mix culture.

VitaminC was the guy who introduce me to this place, so yeah Muslim are one crazy motherF!

Please. The love of big and/or growing boobs transcends faith

faith is the last real glass ceiling. i dont think there will be an atheist or agnostic president in my lifetime. and obviously a person of faith other than christian or jewish could never win, at least not in anything resembling the society we know today.

those trying to mislead people about obama's religion or bring up his middle name in a not so subtly racist fashion are just ignorants and desperate bottom scrapers...
